A member asked:

Blurred vision after eye ointment. help! can i rinse it out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ari Weitzner answered

Yep: But the vision will remain blurred for a few hours from the rinsing, as tap water is kinda irritating to the eye. If not alot better by tomorrow, see ophthalmologist.
